History

The village was first mentioned in 1300 as "Super Donghen prope Buscum", and means "sandy hills in swampy land". [3] Den Dungen developed in the Middle Ages on three hills near the Aa River. During the 17th century, a ring dike was built to protect against floods. [4]

The Catholic St.-Jacobus de Meerdere Church was completed in 1533. In 1899, a new tower was constructed with a needle spire. In 1927, the church was expanded. [4]

Den Dungen was home to 1,399 people in 1840. [5] Around 1900, Den Dungen and Maaskantje started to merge into a single urban area. [4] It was a separate municipality until 1996, when it was merged with Sint-Michielsgestel. [6]

Den Dungen is a twin town of Portishead, Somerset in England.
